Artists of all ages gathered at Findlay Market to celebrate National Poetry Month.

Participants got to show off their talents, not only through spoken word, but also through crafts and music on Sunday.

One of the featured artists was 5-year-old Patrick Boyne, who has autistism. He was asked to participate in the chalk art exhibition. His mom said they began using the chalk to write letters and hopscotch boards on the sidewalk.

“He just put the two together, and it formed this amazing ability for him to draw with sidewalk chalk. And he likes to spend a lot of his free time drawing right now," Amy Boyne said.

Even though Patrick has autism, his mom said he is actually more advanced than most kids his age.
